One of the most important aspects of humanity is community. Our ability to be together, share our lives, and connect as human beings is central to what it means to flourish. That’s why L’Arche Atlanta is launching CONNEXIONS, the new way to gather together friends with and without disabilities around our favorite things to do.
CONNEXIONS are a great way for people with and without disabilities to meet new people, try something new, or do more of what you love.
If you are interested in possibly joining a CONNEXIONS group, join us at our Valentine's Dance on February 8 where we will have sign-ups or email Becca (becca@larcheatlanta.org) for more information.

Each group chooses the easiest meeting cadence for their unique group, whether monthly gatherings or quarterly gatherings. And everyone gets the opportunity for fun, exploration, and friendship!
Our hope is that long-term, mutually-transformative friendships will develop between people with and without disabilities. It’s another way for us to continue imagining—and building—community differently, appreciating the full humanity in each of us.
There’s two ways to get involved: Join a Group or Become a Group Leader.
To join a CONNEXIONS Group
We will have sign ups for CONNEXIONS Groups at all of our main community events throughout the year. You can also email becca@larcheatlanta.org to connect with existing groups. CONNEXIONS are open to anyone who wants to join—we’re committed to making meetings inclusive and accessible to everyone!
To become a CONNEXIONS Group Leader
Becoming a CONNEXIONS facilitator is a fun way to get involved with L’Arche while sharing your interest with others! Each group will need two facilitators to take a leadership role by planning meetings, managing logistics, and communicating about events with the group Facilitator teams will be made up of people with and without disabilities who can work together to lead their group—a truly unique gift to share with others.
Join Us in 2020
